Valencia, Spain

The Bullring

...it goes round and round...

Valencia's Bullring is built with arches similar to the Roman Colisseum in Rome. It is possibly the first building in the city to use exposed iron, particularly in the columns that hold the steps. When it was built, the bullring had a capacity for 16,800 people, a number in accordance with the huge passion for bullfighting at that time in Valencia.
